No risk, no fun.
- hahainternet 11y agoThere are ASCII equivs for most, they're called 'Texas' operators.
- stesch 11y agoLarry Wall is a linguist. I'm sure there has to be some reasoning behind making the language more complex. Do you know of a text by him explaining why there are two kind of writing the same operators? And why using non ASCII characters?
- Ultimatt 11y agoIt's kind of obvious the reasoning behind it... The unicode is the mathematical or good choice for the operator character, but the majority of people have no idea how to type it. I have yet to see a keyboard with most of the unicode maths operators on.
